Discovering Your Place Called Home

very good book, lots of info for thinking about how your house works.

'Inspired House' Inspiring

'Inspired House' introduces you to the owners, architect and builder of the featured homes, giving insight into the ideas behind design and building decisions. Good look at how your house could move from vision to concept to reality. The houses here seem more livable, more affordable (for the most part) than some in similar books. If you're hoping for nuts-and-bolts costs and dimensions, this book will leave you mildly disappointed. But the lovely, practical homes are well worth looking to for inspiration, and that, after all, is what was promised. A wonderful book that actually did inspire and fill out many details of our current "if we build" home.

Great new book.

This is a good book to flip thru for ideas and to see some fresh ideas for your Inspired House!
